Following yesterday’s strike ballot result, we met with @wesstreeting It’s clear: the Government is refusing to negotiate on pay. We are now preparing for a full 5 day walk-out, beginning on Friday 25 July. Our door will always be open to constructive talks. #PayRestoration

"My non-medic friends are all settling down and buying houses, whilst I have no idea which part of the country I’m going to be yeeted to." Sums it up beautifully, doctors often put their lives on hold for medicine. The question, is it worth it? Currently, that answer is no.

I started studying for MRCP last year from my alemtuzumab infusion chair 3 months after my MS diagnosis turned my life upside down - so I’m a bit extra happy to have passed Parts 1 and 2 first time during FY2 🙏🏽

Overworked, underpaid, and subjected to unnecessary hostility. An NHS doctor was prevented from accessing the ward kitchen for a simple glass of tap water. It’s no surprise so many doctors are leaving for countries where they’re valued, respected, and treated with basic dignity.

Can't believe it—I’ll be an @NIHRresearch ACF in Urology in London! After 10+ years of hard work and 5+ years with the most amazing teams, it feels surreal to formally join the specialty and community that’s felt like home for so long. Al7amdulillah! #UroSoMe #Match2025 #MedEd

I would caution students considering applying to medicine: ✅ 100k debt (7%+ APR) ✅ 15£/hr start wage ✅ Self funded training (£1000s) ✅ Rotational training w/no control ✅ Treated like kids until 40 ✅ No expansion in PG training posts. Real risk of unemployment A short 🧵

PAs bring nothing to medicine and are certainly not essential.

@Dr_Done_ Rotational training is not a choice doctors make, why is it constantly held against them & used to justify training other professionals

I have been a recent critic of @RCSnews’ relative inaction, but this is a very clear statement and doesn’t pull its punches (imv).

The year is 2040. You are admitted to ED and clerked by a Physician Associate. Sent to theatre, anaesthetised by an AA, and operated on by a SCP. You then wake up to the noise of an SHO mopping the floors and giving out teas.

@ShafiAhmed5 We need seniors like yourself to speak out against this! This should be brought up in meetings/conferences and rules put into place on what’s acceptable. Leaving it upto local trusts etc will be terrible for patients/trainees
